"When psych rock and free jazz intermingle you might imagine a blissed-out sound rooted in the bohemian past, but Chicago group ADT’s wildly inventive record is as modern as it gets. With synthetic natural sounds (the wind, the rain), and a hat tip to experimental ambient, Insecurities takes the ingredients of jazz, adds a few secret spices and makes something entirely new. Moments of recognizable lounge jazz appear, only to be interrupted by Carlos Chavarria’s saxophone working against the other players, like a machete-wielding guide slashing through the free jazz jungle. On “Redream” each instrument vies for attention—I am reminded of that Planet Earth footage of penguins standing on their tippy toes to appear taller. Then there are mellow moments of calm relaxation that feel nearly forced in that ’80s keyboard and windchime way. But there is also cacophony, strung along by Drummer Ben Billington (of Quicksails), who lassos the peaks and valleys of free jazz into some sort of ordered chaos."–Ally-Jane Grossan for bandcamp's Seven Essential Releases

"Part of the reason that Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker has been such a reverberant cultural document is because of its primal mythos. There is a dangerous and heavily guarded place you can go to grant all your wishes, it suggests, but it might cost you everything. I hear a similar promise in most abstract jazz, that far beyond the grid of traditional Western melody and established rhythmic forms, there lies both the possibility of true transcendence and the threat of utter discord, chaos, and mental ruin. The Chicago explorers in ADT—anchored by the experimentalist Ben Baker Billington and armed with a hefty helping of electronic abstractions—prove on Insecurity that they’re skilled navigators of The Zone. They show off shortcuts between familiar melodies and dive into untrodden wilds with the confidence that they’ll always make it back to a more familiar path. If there is truth here—in the dense thickets of saxophone melodies and guitar leads that tangle around one another like vines in the underbrush—they’ll find their way to it." — Colin Joyce for Noisey's HEAVY ROTATION
